Karantzas Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice Abstract Introduction Cisnormativity is a sociocultural narrative that contributes to the marginalisation of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. The schema therapy model theorises that humans have five core emotional needs that must be met to support psychological well‐being. Experiences of marginalisation may result in TGD people feeling as if their core emotional needs are not being met. Integrating the schema therapy model with an ecological systems perspective, this study aimed to examine how manifestations of cisnormativity across different levels of the social ecology impact the extent to which TGD people feel their core emotional needs are met. Methods An online qualitative survey was completed by 101 TGD adults, and the data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Cisnormativity greatly impacted TGD people in ways that reflected the denial of numerous core emotional needs under the schema therapy model. The frustration of these needs was represented in four themes: disconnection and rejection; representation and reputation; suppressing and performing gender; and autonomy. The sources for these unmet needs were present across multiple levels of people's ecological systems. Conclusion Integrating an ecological systems perspective with the schema model demonstrated how the sociocultural context can directly and indirectly interfere with the meeting of core emotional needs. Some of the needs constructs demonstrated conceptual overlap, necessitating further investigation of the schema therapy model. This study documented the wide‐ranging impacts of cisnormativity on TGD people, highlighting novel considerations that should be incorporated into the schema therapy model and models of TGD mental health and well‐being. 10.1111/papt.12596 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
